Lehigh Valley Business today named 45 eastern Pennsylvania companies to its Fastest Growing Companies list for 2016 – companies identified as the region's most dynamic that have made significant contributions to the local economy.

The companies will be honored and their final rankings on the list disclosed at an awards breakfast and ceremony Wednesday, Oct. 26, at DeSales University, Center Valley.

“We are excited by the growth of the event and look forward to revealing the final rankings on Oct. 26,” said Mike O’Rourke, Lehigh Valley Business publisher.

Nominated companies were ranked according to revenue growth over a three-year period, with both dollar and percentage increases taken into consideration.

To be eligible, companies had to be for profit-entities based in the Greater Lehigh Valley. They must have had annual revenue of at least $500,000 each of the past three years and an increase in revenue in 2015 when compared to 2013.

This awards program is presented by Baker Tilly, which calculated the list. The event also is sponsored by the Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corp., ESSA Bank & Trust and MassMutual of Eastern Pennsylvania.
